100 days in office: Trump's legislative accomplishments

President Donald Trump has signed five new laws in his first 100 days of his second term, focusing on deregulation and immigration, while successfully avoiding a government shutdown.

• Trump emphasized “promises made, promises kept,” according to House Speaker Mike Johnson.

• The first law signed was the bipartisan Laken Riley Act, allowing for the deportation of certain illegal migrants.

• Critics, mainly Democratic lawmakers, are opposed due to mandatory detention before convictions.

• Trump’s immigration policies have contributed to record low illegal border crossings.

• Two energy resolutions repealed a methane emissions fee and a rule requiring more archaeological reports on oil and gas development.

• Trump worked hard to pass a Continuing Resolution to maintain current funding levels and prevent a shutdown.

• Additionally, a bill passed eliminating stricter tax reporting rules for cryptocurrency brokers.

In total, Trump has signed over 780 bills during his first term, while Biden has signed over 630.
